Show notes

As you may know, Danny’s mother passed away a few weeks ago after an ongoing fight with cancer. We wanted to record a real, raw episode on what it feels like to lose a parent, and how you can show up for people in your life who might be experiencing something similar. It may be heavy right now, but we can all share this weight together.

Ep. 223: Practicing Vulnerability on Social Media Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

Practicing vulnerability online can be scary as shit. The internet is known for being full of nosy, judgmental, and over-critical people who are on the look-out for people to take down. But the internet is also full of caring, empathetic, and understanding people. Sharing the scary and hard parts of life can be rewarding, too. So what’s the line between vulnerability and over-sharing? And when is the right time to share? Let’s chat.

Ep. 217: Did Farting Kill Our Marriages? Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Farting killed our marriages. Well, not really… but sort of. Going to the bathroom is human. Farting, burping, and other bodily noises are human—but that doesn’t make them sexy. When you spend a lot of time with a significant other, you want to feel comfortable—maybe to you that means letting burps fly, or peeing with the door open. But maybe those things should be kept private, to keep the mystery and the intrigue alive. Do we know the answer? Absolutely not. Let’s chat about it anyways.

Farts killed my marriage [1:04]

Does familiarity kill sexiness? [4:02]

Bathrooms incidents in public [6:02]

Familiarity and mystery must coexist [7:40]

Does keeping some privacy prevent closeness? [11:25]

Some people just don’t care [14:11]

Peeing in the shower [16:16]
